242 Eurobodalla Integrated Water Cycle Management Strategy Reducing water usage can be achieved through applying structural solutions such as the installation of more water efficient fixtures and appliances. While these may decrease the flow rate of water, they may not necessarily result in reduced water use. Behavioural and cultural aspects also form an important component of water consumption. These are primarily addressed through the provision of education and information to the community. Therefore, a successful program to reduce water usage needs to incorporate both structural and non-structural solutions. Ongoing monitoring systems need to be developed to ensure that initiatives such as demand management are achieving their intended goals and should form a fundamental component in assessing whether those issues identified for the Eurobodalla Shire have been addressed. Data and information gathered through appropriate on-going monitoring systems can then be feed back into the education campaign to form a continued refinement of this process. Another important factor in ensuring that the outcomes from this IWCM strategy are sustained is to monitor the volume of bulk water production lost through the distribution system. This IWCM strategy has devised a two stage approach to reducing the amount of water lost. The accurate determination of unaccounted for water through additional metering has been identified as the first important step, prior to the implementation of the loss reduction program. An additional aspect to consider in managing the urban water cycle of Eurobodalla in a sustainable manner is to establish a common water cycle fund. This would allow Council to offer choices of price paths for its customers to achieve differing levels of integration. Although, the current legislative arrangements do not allow this to occur, it is strongly recommended that Council and DLWC pursue this further, as a common water cycle fund provides Council the flexibility and opportunity to signal its customers the expected outcomes. 13.3 Strategy Review Cycle Although, this strategy has been developed for a planning period of 30 years, it is recommended that the plan be regularly reviewed. The recommended review interval is five years but not greater than 10 years.
